Yeah. The United States. That’s my team. I’m on it. You’re not.

You aren’t a serious person. Only slap fight like a teenager. I asked what would you have done if you were Israel after last weekends events? You ignore it. You just say things and have zero substance and only bring silly slap fights to this bored. If your supposed Jewish friends read this thread, they would not be your friend anymore. But you won’t be yourself to them, you’ll lie and be fake. And you know I’m right.

Days pay before or after the brass tax?

I learned Troy Palamalu is not a very good driver. But his avocados are safe.

The "Western culture" is typically not one that favors open social confrontation. As a general rule. However the younger generations are seeing a massive shift in that long established thought process. What you have are many "traditional liberals" who are likely a little bit older, who just say nothing at all most of the time. They just don't want the argument and fight. And you have the "activist radical leftists" who are far more aggressive, don't hold to some basic social norms about decorum, and keep on the attack. In effect, it's a small number of people driving the hard edge on public policy. The average staffer for Team Blue, we are talking the rank and file, the nuts and bolts of any elected officials office, is usually young college educated and comes from an upper middle class background. Many have never worked in any other field before. The average age, IIRC, is about 27. Obviously there are some really old people who skew the averages a little, but campaigns want young people as foot soldiers. It's a hard life working in politics, and like war, it's just easier to recruit and use up young people. You can see how "student loan forgiveness" makes little to no sense to the American population across the whole ( 340+ million people) But if the pressure points are coming from young college educated liberals and leftists as the nuts and bolts of the Party, you can see how things like pushing for electric vehicles, and a cashless society, and just ignoring the average working class can happen really easily. Put it this way, James Daulton/RavensFan/Wade Garrett showed up and was a troll and jerk. I confronted him. I started a thread to confront him and archive his behavior. Long term, it got that Wade Garrett account banned. But what if no one said anything? He'd just keep it up. As it is, right now, thread and posts are disappearing, so WG and others are likely gaming the Report Button with their other aliases. So you only need a small handful of toxic people to turn any community, at any scale, into a toilet. For example, at the "other place", timschochet was just one person. But he had countless aliases and like 250K total posts from all his accounts, and he was in every single thread. He attacked everyone. He's not representative of all the traditional liberals out there who are silent. But it might look that way because a small subset are the most aggressive. The average voter is actually pretty moderate in most things. There might be some push/pull over some single voter type issues, but there is some general agreement on many things in the political spectrum. "Bomb throwers", that's the term, are functionally rewarded for their behavior. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. In generations past, they'd be socially punished and ostracized for being toxic. But now it's a badge of honor. There are just people with a gross level of entitlement. They virtue signal without facing the insidious reality that they want to do purity tests to determine which virtues should matter for everyone else. I don't see it as so much partisanship ( though that's a factor) as much as the accepted breakdown of basic social boundaries. Obviously many of the worst bad faith actors at the "other place" and here, even some of the transplants, have a huge problem with me. Because I don't have a problem with confrontation. But they expect everyone else to back down. And will keep attacking until others are silent. The "average person", the answer is not to be confrontational, because that's generally not within most people. The average person should just ignore and demonetize. For example, these major universities, many of them have high level faculty or staff who get into really ugly messes that ride hard against basic free speech. Or they are into the cancel culture. OK, who are the major donors for that university? Hit them all. Hit them in the wallet, until they pressure the university to change their tune. There is no "love and tolerance", there is only leverage. You'll find zealots are usually mentally weak. Hit them in their wallets or hit other people around them in their wallets and you'll see the tune change quickly. Everyone is a tough guy until they've lost their career, they have been financially destroyed and now they are homeless and have nowhere to go. When you see someone stripped bare and they still ride the line to their "principles", then IMHO they are worthy of regard ( Not respect per se, but regard) At least they are willing to bleed for it. Most zealots are like children. They'll push the line again and again and violate boundaries to see how far they can go before someone stops them. Confront them. Or demonetize them. Doing both is actually the best and fastest course to take, but ignore and demonetize is consistently effective.

It’s our hostages you idiot. Let me break it down for you. I’ll even talk nerd so you might be able to get it. Iran is the Death Star. All terrorism emanates from them. It’s terror HQ. They also Fock with our ships in the Persian gulf and guess who is providing the drones that Russia is using against your beloved Ukraine ? Yeah, Iran. Enough out of them. It’s about time they got a taste.

Instead of trading hostages for terrorists, maybe Hamas would be willing to trade them for food.

Did you guys see this? https://x.com/NFLGameDay/status/1712611404749123933?s=20 Loved how Steve Smith used the word "ninja" as a N word substitute.

The brass tacks is you're friends with them, but you're not their friend.

Or did he...

Ok, right like I said, Hamas has hostages, might be some US, we don't know yet, so you want the US to bomb Iran unless they release what might be a few US hostages. And you objected to unfreezing their money just last month to get US hostages, but today you want to bomb them. Are you alright?

I think the Jews have handled it pretty good so far. As of this morning they were rethinking a ground assault. I like that. Once the troops are aligned on the border ensuring you can respond to an attack and noone escapes, I'd turn off the bombs and wait them out. No water, no food, no power. Dark and silent. Tik tok. All Hamas turned over or everyone starves to death. Force a Palestine civil war really quick.

You will

Par for the course for me this season.

Ok bets placed on pacheco getting 2+ and 3+ TDs. C'mon fellows, mama needs a new pair of shoes.

over 75% of covid deaths were in senior citizens. Many unvaccinated seniors remained unvaccinated due to their pre-existing health conditions. Less than 7% of covid deaths were in people under 50 years old. They make up roughly 2/3 the US population. 94% of those deaths had at least 4 co-morbidities.

Fock off Tim. Seriously - fock off. I’ve watched you for years defend cancel culture when it came to outing what you believed were repugnant views by Conservatives. You openly approved canceling these people. I have the receipts. Now you are against people wanting to know the names of the students who PUBLICLY sent a letter blaming the most deadly terror attack since 9/11 on Israel: “The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.” No. Israel is not to blame. The people who decapitated babies and murdered over a thousand innocent civilians are to blame. JFC. Can’t believe I used to respect you. You’ve shown very clearly recently that you are nothing but a partisan Leftist hack, with no consistency and no moral compass. So yeah, fock off.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

Haha that would make a good prank in someones Chili.

He's on a roll.
